- Description: [Introduction] Much of the information available on the prices of vegetables marketed through the fresh produce markets is of limited use to producers. This information contains the actual prices for individual years. This can obviously be taken as a guide to future prices but it does not necessarily mean that those prices are a true reflection of the general pattern. In this study an attempt will be made, firstly, to establish whether a general pattern exists in the prices of selected vegetables on the East London municipal market. This will be attempted by studying the prices obtained over the 1964-1979 period. Information of this nature can be used as a basis for the planning of future crops. Secondly, to determine the months which obtain the "best" prices for the selected vegetables taking into account the quantities supplied to the market.

- Description: This thesis examines the opinions of a sample of partners in accounting firms within the Republic of South Africa on the advertising of professional accounting services. The advertising of professional accounting services has become a highly contentious and complex topic. This thesis identifies eight issues related to the topic and examines the partners' opinions on these issues. In addition, the partners' opinions are examined in relation to the possible placing, means and methods of advertising of professional accounting services as well as the possible content of advertisements for professional accounting services. A methodology was designed to obtain the opinions of partners from all provinces of the Republic, from varying sizes of accounting firm, of varying ages and experience, and from both official language groups. The opinions were then analysed . The research findings show that a number of major differences of opinion exist within the profession, and that generally the present rules and regulations pertaining to advertising are in need of revision. This thesis makes a number of recommendations for revision as part of what should be an ongoing process. This thesis is only part of what needs to be done in this field. A great deal more research is imperative if a satisfactory set of rules and regulations for the advertising of professional accounting services is to be maintained.

Some theoretical considerations in applying cost-benefit analysis to Black education in South Africa

- Description: From introduction: In this thesis some of the economic theory underlying the application of cost-benefit analysis to education is considered with the view to discussing its relevance to the field of educational provision for Black people in South Africa. The fact that educational facilities available to Blacks are so vastly inferior to those of the Whites has given rise to virtual consensus that more has to be provided for the Black population. The economic implications of education are frequently cited to support this viewpoint. Using (a ) the theoretical bases established in chapters 1 and 2, (b) the review of the rate of return to education studies in chapter 3 and (c) the broader socio-economic considerations introduced in chapter 4, it is concluded that this viewpoint is not necessarily well founded in South Africa and that the potential for greater use of the techniques described, is far from exhausted.
